Setting up your instalment plan

Accommodation fee instalment plans

It's important to set up your accommodation instalment plan as early as possible; it's best to do this after you receive your contract and before you register at the University.

The online accommodation instalment plan system is open for students starting in 2017/18 from July 2017 to October 2017. If you do not complete an instalment plan, the only available option will be payment in full, immediately.

Tuition fee instalment plans

You'll need to have your tuition fee payment arrangements in place before you can register.

Undergraduate and taught postgraduate students, or others paying on their behalf who have a UK Bank account, can use the tuition fee instalment plan in the secure payment system. This option opens on 1 August for returning undergraduate and all taught postgraduate students. For instalment dates please refer to the tuition fee payment schedule.

If you have already chosen an instalment plan and need to change the bank details, or card details, contact the Fees team.

Research postgraduate students who need to register can access the instalment plan option on Step 6 of online registration in the Portal.

Direct debit instalment plans

To set up a direct debit instalment plan, log into the instalment pages of the secure payment system and provide your UK bank account details at least five working days before the due date of the first instalment. You will receive your instalment dates by email if the plan has been set up successfully. Please keep this for future reference. If you need to confirm the date of your first instalment contact the Fees team.

To change or update your bank details you must complete and sign a form called a direct debit mandate. You can come to the Student Services Centre in the Marjorie and Arnold Ziff building or ask the Fees team to post a form. We need to receive this form at least five working days before the instalment date to change your details.

If you cancel your direct debit or provide incorrect details, we'll cancel your instalment plan and your payment will be due in full immediately.

If you don't provide valid details we can't reinstate your instalment plan and you'll include late payment administration charges unless you make full payment.

Credit or debit card instalment plans

To set up a credit or debit card instalment plan, log into the instalment pages of the secure payment system and provide valid debit or credit card details at least three working days before the due date of the first instalment.

We'll use the email address you provide to contact you about successful or unsuccessful card payments or any problems with your card details. We'll also email to confirm the successful setup of your instalment plan; please keep this for future reference.

You must contact the Fees team about any change to the card details, even if the long card number remains the same. Recurring card payments fail the majority of the time because you have received a new card and not updated the details. If your card payments fail or your card expires, we may cancel your instalment plan.

Early payments during instalment plans

It's important that you let us know if you've made an early payment. If you don't then a duplicate payment may be taken or you may have to pay bank charges if the University attempts to take a payment and you don't have the money to cover it.

If you want to make a payment before an instalment is due, please contact the Fees team before you do this because we may already have asked the bank to take the payment automatically. If you have made the payment early and didnt check with our team, contact the Fees teamto find out if we have already requested the payment. If we have, contact your bank and explain the situation they may be able to cancel the payment for you.

Missed instalment payments

You'll incur a late-payment administration charge if an instalment is not paid in line with your chosen instalment plan. We'll attempt to take the payment from your card or bank account unless you contact us. If you don't have sufficient funds in your account, you may incur bank charges.

If you think you have an instalment plan but no money has been taken from your account, there could be a problem with the details you've provided or with your instalment plan. Please contact the Fees team.

You won't be able to graduate or re-register for a new academic session until any tuition debt is cleared. Unpaid accommodation or other debts, such as exam resit fees, may result in legal proceedings. This may result in a negative effect to your credit rating.
